I hold a strong conviction that we all have the potential and the capacity to heal and to live happy and meaningful lives. Although we cannot change the past, we do have the power to change how we respond to the events in our lives, heal unresolved pain, let go of negative beliefs, and change the behaviors that may contribute to depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and difficulties in relationships. I can help you navigate this healing journey by providing both compassionate support and practical guidance to help you gain insight and to acquire tools to effectively address the challenges you are facing. My approach to therapy has developed through years of meditation practices, the study of holistic healing approaches, as well as training in psychotherapy. I am certified in Internal Family Systems therapy, a cutting edge method of working with trauma in a safe, collaborative, and compassionate way. I am also trained in Somatic Experiencing, which is a psychobiological approach to healing trauma, relieving chronic stress, and healing emotional wounds.
